Cindy

Thanks Kaz. It has been a long time since I posted on the forum, and I've gone blank Cindy

I could not find my original post about Rascus and his constant runny motions.. Well I got the result today. He has Pseudodiabetes (false diabetes), it is caused by an infection in the Pancreas. The liquid he passed was not from the bowel but from the kidneys. Vetafarm are sending me some Spectovet . antibiotic Now we have to wait to see if it works on him. Cindy

I've tried 3 Avian Vets in our surrounding areas - rather a long drive. When I got no satisfaction from them I went to two normal vets...all said they could not find anything. The bottom of his cage is just like runny water. I am now sending the samples to Vetafarm. Cherie to much inregular veriation on food or stress can cause runny water like droppings is something stressing him or her where she is He is in the family room where he has always been, with his mate 'Squeak'..Nothing here has changed. Thanks for you input Cherie

They say he does not need anything, but it must he having some effect on him.

For the last 12 months my budgie 'Rascus' has had constant runny poos, mostly dark green, now almost clear liquid. I have taken him to various Avian Vets, and normal Vets during this time. All have tested the 'mess' and cannot find what is causing it. I have even taken him to another person's house for 7 days..kept him in his cage for days on end. Removed all greens. Given him grit (All on Vets suggestions) Nothing is working He still sings, very loudly I must say, flies around his room, plays on his swing set, Eats his seed not just crack them. Sometimes he fluffs up. He is so lively that last week when we had visitors staying, they nicknamed him 'Kamikaze Pilot' Can anyone out there tell me what else can I do. Yes, he has been wormed, given calcium and vitamins. No, he is not losing weight (so the Vet said) Cindy

Maddi, I'm really sorry for your loss, please let us know what the Vey said Cherie PS How did your new ones travel home on Sunday

:hap: They are lovely birds, and it shows you have raised your son well, Congratulations and good luck to you both.

Thanks everyone for your answers Cherie

what mutation difference is between these siblings top one has grey cheek patches the other has blue cheek patches, he is also a [paler shade of grey also bottom one was in a 'fight' when he was 3 weeks old, feathers now just starting to grow back

Sorry Elle, I just saw this post. Umm! Yes... I did flat post them but they must have come back home 'cause they are still here Cindy

Thanks Libby, I should know by now, shouldn't I

He/she is a very pale lemon very a greenish/blue tummy, no a sky blue Cindy I agree with Libby. The yellowface gene makes a skyblue look like the pale green you are seeing.....making it type 2. Unless the colours arent showing up well on here, I would agree with Libby's description. Thanks Kaz and thank you Libby. Is it a recessive?

He/she is a very pale lemon very a greenish/blue tummy, no a sky blue Cindy

This is the second to fledge from the clutch of 8. The tummy has come out darker as it is actually a very pale aqua-green shade Oh I lost his/her head on this shot Cindy

Thanks Nerwen This is the third of 6 (mind you the group of 8 are older but prefer to stay 'indoors') Cindy

The first of the 8 babies fledged today 2 of the clutch of six also fledged today No.1 No2 Cindy

oooh!! send her to me Kaz, P-l-e-a-s-e- Cindy

They are lovely babies, Mum and Dad fed them well Cindy

Whooh up there!!! Nerwen was giving you the right advice, but you were not listening. Nerwen was not rude, YOU WERE. If you want advice, take it as it is given to you. You are not the expert... Nerwen is, and so are all the other moderators. Cindy

Thanks, they are so cute and I just love the way they look up at you when you open the nest box, not at all scared. Two of them are a beige/grey colour at the moment and have brown markings on their wings, the yellow ones have all different colours on there tummy, pale green, pale blue and a deeper blue like his dad, so it will be interesting to see how they turn out. I think the one with the green tummy is female as it is the only one that has tried to bite me so far. Cindy

Good luck with your babies Maddi Cindy

Updated pics,, excuse rusty wire on cage front, it was only used as a tempory holding area while I cleaned our their very dirty nesting boxes and i knew they were too young to peck at it(8 babies are too much to hold in one small hand ) The clutch of 8 First born looks like a giant compared to his youngest sibling and the clutch of 6 All looking healthy Cindy

Oh They are absolutely georgous. I just love those colours Congrats KAz, Cindy

well here are a few pics, sort off, as they won't keep still Thes are the clutch of 8 you will see one popping out from under Mom near her tail and one just behind the biggest one These are the other clutch of six, you can see the green one trying to look up to get out This is the youngest of the six Cindy
